#USA gov't map of #Africa mislabels every country at global conference ‼️
The map contained an #AI watermark imdicating it was made w/ OpenAI tools. 👀
It had:
• Nigeria (where #US currently has several hundred troops deployed) as landlocked in the Sahara Desert
• Mozambique, which is in southeastern Africa, relocated to the Horn of Africa
• Ivory Coast in West Africa was placed on the other side of the continent
The State Dept blamed a staffer.
